What is the difference between a synchronous clock and an asynchronous clock?

Dear Team,

May I know the difference between synchronous clocks and asynchronous clocks. which clocks can be considered synchronous to each other. 

If you can explain with figures it will be easy for me to understand.

Regards

Hari

    Hi Hari and welcome to the forums!

    I've never heard of a synchronous / asynchronous clocks. I've heard of synchronous / asynchronous inputs though.

    A sync(hronous) input uses the clock for timing, while an async(hronous) input does not use the clock.  Async inputs activate as soon as the input changes level, while sync inputs do not affect the state of the device when they change levels -- they wait until the next clock pulse.

    Is there a specific TI logic device with these terms in the datasheet that you are asking about?
